Fulham loanee Riether unlikely to return to Koln

Martin Jol's side have an option to buy the right-back after his season-long loan deal expires, but his parent club suggest they will seek a buyer regardless of his form

FC Koln coach Jorg Jakobs has claimed the club have no interest in keeping Fulham loanee Sascha Riether when he returns from his spell with the Cottagers.

The 29-year-old has impressed for the Premier League club this season, and fared particularly well during their recent 1-0 home defeat to Manchester United last Saturday.

However, it seems as though the Bundesliga 2 side are intent on seeking a buyer for the defender due to their relegation last season, regardless of whether Martin Jol's side decide to make the temporary stay a permanent one.
